Mais pour Brendan Fraser, ce douloureux secret serait à l’origine d’une profonde dépression, renforcée par des problèmes physiques liés aux cascades spectaculaires qu’il réalisait lui-même à l’époque où il trônait au sommet du box-office. Après l’ouverture d’une enquête, Philip Berk admettra avoir "pincé les fesses" de l’acteur. En 2018, dans le sillage du mouvement #MeToo, ce père de trois enfants fait sensation en affirmant avoir été agressé sexuellement 15 ans plus tôt par Philip Berk, le président de la Hollywood Foreign Press Asssociation (HFPA), qui organise les Golden Globes.

Thankfully, in addition to The Whale, the actor still has some other big-name projects in the works, including [Martin Scorsese's Killers of the Flower Moon](https://exclaim.ca/film/article/brendan_fraser_joins_martin_scorseses_killers_of_the_flower_moon).

His obesity starts to pose a grave threat to his health and his friend Liz (Hong Chau), a nurse, begs him to check into a hospital, but also recognizes that it might be more important to simply offer support. Meanwhile, Charlie receives visits from a door-to-door evangelist (Ty Simpkins) who engages him in a dialogue about redemption that, despite Charlie's lack of religious inclination, proves surprisingly resonant. He makes excuses and is so good-natured that no one makes a fuss, but the real reason for his invisibility is his appearance. Despite the Oscar buzz, The Whale has been kept largely under wraps up until this point; a trailer has yet to even be shared.
